Rocket Surgery
“It's not rocket surgery, ya know?”
Rocket Surgery is an astromedical procedure designed to help little hurted rockets get over their boo-boos. It requires extreme intelligence to perform, kind of like rocket science and brain surgery, only both together at the same time. Very hard!
Methods
Lighting a match
This helps rockets that aren't launched get off the ground.
Tailfin replacement
Prostetic tailfins are ... wait rockets are already artificial, how can they have prostetic limbs? Like, a robot with a peg leg? that wouldn't make sense unless he (the robot) was a pirate. Maybe rockets are secretly robot pirates! cool!!
Or maybe they aren't artificial ... do they grow on Rocket Trees? Like money?
Countdown
This is a psychological treatment that involves counting backwards from ten until the psychologist reaches zero, then saying "blast off!" This helps rockets get going on their launching, which is the main focus of their lives, and if they get distracted from it, this is deviant behavior that is probably caused by some kind of repression due to a bad experience in their early childhood. (Probably as a dud firecracker)
Results
Rockets that are successfully treated by means of Rocket Surgery tend to not fail in their launching, which makes the procedure very useful to NASA.
Fun facts
Rocket surgery is illegal in Brazil.
The first book about rocket surgery was written by Dr. Willem Dafoe.
Most rocket scientists are up handed.
